While Kaida was resting, Hiruzen received the first report about him after sending an Anbu to track him down.
“Are you sure?” Hiruzen asked, looking toward the Anbu guard.
“Yes, sir. That boy is just training. I believe he is talented isu and is hard-w. He used Soldier Pills to train and utilized his time very effitly. In terms of potential threat, I would rate him as D-rank (LOW). His future potential be rated as A, b S-rank,” the Anbu replied.
“Has he used any particur jutsu in front of anyone?” Hiruzen inquired.
“No, sir. He did use shadow es in a very peculiar way to plete many D-rank missions and increase his learning efficy. With his high chakra reserves, it was feasible. He was called by the Uchiha head, but I believe it was mainly because he pleted an unusually high number of D-rank missions. After the meeting, he even increased the number of missions he was pleting,” the Anbu expined.
“Good. You may go bad keep an eye on him for a bit longer. I’ll let you know when to stop,” Hiruzen said.
“Yes, sir,” the Anbu replied before disappearing from the office using Body Flicker Jutsu.
Hiruzen remained alone in his office, deep in thought.
*‘Looks like I don’t have to dispose of him. Even Bear was able to see his potential. He will at the very least bee ae Jonin, and acc to Mitsuru, he will most likely be a great mediinja too.’*
Then he recalled how Mitsuru had barged into his office trior.

**(Two Days Ago...)**
“Old man, my disciple should be a mediinja! He’s too talented in this field to be sent to his death on some mission,” Mitsuru said, entering Hokage's office without knog.
“I know he’s talehat’s why I reended him to be your disciple,” Hiruzen replied, maintaining a calm demeanor, well aware of Mitsuru's nature.
“I don’t think you uand his talent in this field. He’s even slightly more talehan I am, but not by much,” Mitsuru insisted.
Hiruzen's eyes widened for a split sed. He knew Mitsuru too well; she was too prideful to accept anyone as more talehahere were only a handful of people she would aowledge, including Tsuhe fact that Kaida had made the cut spoke volumes.
“So why don’t you just ask him to bee a mediinja? Why are you asking me about this?” Hiruzeioned.
“Do you think I haven't tried? He’s adamant about being ae Jonin, saying strength is more important in this world than resped position,” Mitsuru replied, frustrated.
“Well, as much as he is talented in medical jutsu, the same applies to his fighting skills. He is already powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with a Jonin,” Hiruzen tered.
“But if he became a mediinja, he could save multiple Jonin. What’s the cost of exging the life of many Jonin for the career of a partiinja?” Mitsuru argued, her frustration mounting.
“I’m the leader of this vilge, Mitsuru. I won’t trol the lives of the ninjas here…” Hiruzen said, but upon seeing Mitsuru’s acg gaze, he added, “…unless necessary.”
“Okay, do what you like,” Mitsuru said, leaving the office. She knew she wouldn’t be able to sway Hiruzen to her side; her main goal had been to give him a retive idea of Kaida’s potential in medical jutsu.

**(Present Time...)**
One day passed after the effects of the Soldier Pill wore off. Kaida slept for 20 hours. Since he used resources to enhance his physique during training, which helped him reduce the burden on his body, he wasn’t out cold for 24 hours like before.
As soon as he woke up, Kaida g the clock; it showed 2:47. Notig it was dark outside, he realized it was m.
*‘I needed much less sleep this time, which means those resources were not a waste of tribution points. Now that I know this training will help me strengthen myself, I make my pns.
First, I o find ways to improve the image of the Uchiha Konoha. For now, the best thing I do is bee a mediinja ahe poor people of Konoha for free.
During that process, I should crify that the Uchihas were not behind the tail attack. That should be retively simple since public doubt is still in its early phase.
Also, I ’t let my knowledge of the future go to waste. I know some talented individuals who were on the wrong side due to circumstances, and I add them to my team. This will not only increase my ces of stopping the Uchiha massacre but also help in future events like the Konoha Crush, Pain's attack, or the Freat Ninja War.
The people who e to mind are Karin Uzumaki, Haku, and Kimimaro Kaguya. These three were powerful and still aren’t under anyone’s trol sinaruto is only four years old. Their ages should be around that as well.
I should quickly ‘rescue’ them,* Kaida thought, getting out of bed and making a mental note of what he had to do shortly.
After pleting his m routine, he went to the kit to find a meal prepared oable.
*This is for you, Kaida. Eat it when you wake up. I don’t want anythi behind. — Your Aunt*
Kaida smiled and ate all the food present. He theo the meditation room and the fire room for one hour each. With enough tribution points in hand, the only thing he o worry about was time.
Since he still had two hours before everyone else would wake up, he decided to use them effitly.

**(At 6:00 AM)**
Kaida returned home.
“The first thing you did after waking up was train? Don’t you think that’s a little excessive?” Shisui remarked, looking at Kaida.
Hae, Shisui, and Yomi were enjoying m tea while waiting for Kaida.
“I woke up quite early, so I decided to meditate a little. I didn’t do any hard training,” Kaida expined, sittio them.
“Okay, here’s your tea,” Hae said, handing Kaida a cup.
“You missed yesterday's training at the hospital. Will you fay problems because of that?” Yomi asked.
“No, I already asked for leave yesterday, so I don’t think I’ll fay issues,” Kaida replied, taking a sip.
"Are you going to use another Soldier Pill again?” Shisui inquired.
“No, brother. Even though Soldier Pills are known to have no side effects other than fatigue, I don’t want to take any risks. So I pn to use Soldier Pills only once a week for training,” Kaida expined.
“Good choice,” Shisui said, nodding in approval.
